Explanation:

The term "drama queen" is usually used to describe someone who tends to exaggerate or overreact to situations, making them seem more dramatic than they really are. This person might react dramatically to even minor issues, blowing them out of proportion or making a big deal out of them. They often seek attention or sympathy from others by playing up their emotions and making themselves the center of attention. The behavior of a drama queen can be attention-seeking, manipulative, or simply a reflection of their tendency to experience emotions intensely. While the term is often used in a lighthearted or humorous way, it can also carry a negative connotation if someone's dramatic behavior becomes excessive or disruptive. The term can describe man's action too.
